need help with gauge,locktite is not nice

[stondroopy]

i need to swap out a gauge on my max flo for a higher one,but the locktight is giving me a few problems.I was told by someone to heat it up,just remove the orings.Will this work?Any other suggestions?

i had the same thing but mine was broken so he smashed with a hammer then took off the fittings with vice grips i think you can manage it without smashed the gauge

[dinger]

weeeeeell...

can you identify what color the locktite is??

if i put on that gauge i woulda used telfon tape... :o

[stondroopy]

well i think its locktite,its a red substace.it is brand new so maybe im mistaken.i guess that brings up another question,do i need to use locktite when putting the gauge back on?

[Spray Painter]

yea, it's loctite. use a hairdryer to heat it up until you can unscrew it. when you put a new gauge in you don't have to use loctite, you could just use plumber's tape

[FreakBaller12]

haha red loctite some of the strongest type

[stondroopy]

well i got the gauge and the elbow off,boy talk about a fight :D why the hell did they put that stuff on there geez

to stop people from taking them off :D i liked that elbow that came with it so i put it on my emag so i get plenty of clearance with a slide check
